Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups white sugar
4 large eggs
¾ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups lightly packed shredded carrots, drained of excess water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon orange juice
½ large orange, finely zested
1 ounce bourbon whiskey, or more to taste
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch (12-cup) fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, allspice, and ginger in a medium bowl.
  • Beat sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until slightly lightened in color. Add carrots and stir to coat. Fold in dry ingredients with a rubber spatula or large spoon until just barely combined with some small clumps; don't use a hand mixer. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer pan to a cooling rack and let cool, right-side up, for 15 minutes. Invert pan onto a plate and gently tap to remove the cake. Let cool completely.
  • While cake is cooling, whisk butter, orange juice, orange zest, and bourbon together in a small saucepan over medium heat for glaze until boiling. Boil to fuse flavors, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar, a small amount at a time, whisking until smooth before adding more. When glaze is at your desired consistency, liberally spoon over mostly-cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots will give your cake a more vibrant color and flavor. If you don't have fresh carrots, you can use frozen or canned carrots, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Grate the carrots finely: Finely grated carrots will distribute more evenly throughout the cake and will help to create a more moist crumb.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking the cake will make it dry. Check the cake for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time.
  • Make the orange-bourbon glaze while the cake is baking: This will give the glaze time to cool and thicken slightly.
  • Pour the glaze over the cake while it is still warm: This will help the glaze to soak into the cake.

Conclusion:

Carrot bundt cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a beautiful orange color. The orange-bourbon glaze adds a delicious citrus flavor that complements the carrot cake perfectly. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
